Summary:
The city of Milford, Michigan is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through middle school, including 2 elementary schools and 1 middle school. Based on the data, Muir Middle School stands out as the top-performing school in the Milford area, consistently ranking in the top 20% of Michigan middle schools with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The middle school's test scores significantly outpace the Huron Valley Schools district and Michigan state averages, and it has a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the elementary schools.
In contrast, the two Kurtz Elementary and Johnson Elementary schools show more mixed performance, with Johnson Elementary's ranking dropping from 3 stars to 2 stars over the past 3 years. The elementary schools also have more diverse student populations, with higher percentages of Hispanic and multi-racial students compared to the predominantly white student body at Muir Middle School.
Overall, the Milford school district appears to be performing reasonably well, with the middle school being a clear standout. However, there may be opportunities to improve the performance of the elementary schools, particularly Johnson Elementary, which has seen a decline in its ranking in recent years. The data suggests that factors like per-student spending, student-teacher ratios, and demographic differences may be contributing to the performance differences between the schools.
